Inspired by my late grandfather,

and his seasons of weaving as a way of life.

Time was never measured, only felt

in how things form, age, remain, and renew.

​

Venue : The Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur

Date : 6 - 31 May '26

Do you still remember the way to weave as the season arrived?

​

OH!Tanglung is an intimate installation by Sumay Cheah, presented as a prelude to OH!Tenang: Tanglung Stories, unfolding in Penang later this year.

 

Paying homage to everyday craft, shaped by the hands of ordinary people, the installation draws inspiration from the Wau*. Skeletal Tanglung structures are suspended in space, each line gently held together as one would bind a Wau*, formed through thread and Chinese knotting.

*Wau is a traditional Malaysian kite, particularly famous in Kelantan, featuring large, intricately designed structures made from bamboo and paper.
